La bureaucratisation du processus de décision dans une grande organisation apparaît en opposition aux normes d'appréciation individuelle et constitue une réponse à la taille des opérations et aux possibilités de conflits entre les preneurs de décision. Etant donné un tel processus de bureaucratisation, les grandes organisations (les courts juvéniles dans le cas qui nous intéresse) ont tendance à prendre des décisions qui se ressemblent de plus en plus. Leur sensibilité aux différences innées des clients (telles que les différences entre les sexes) diminue et les techniques pour régler les problèmes des clienteles s'améliorent sans toutefois apporter de bénéfices appréciates à ceux qui reçoivent ces services. L'analyse de l'émergence de la prise de decision bureaucratique met en relief que (1) la prise individuelle de dêcision est compromise dans son existence au fur et à mesure qu'apparaissent les différentes phases d'organisation bureaucratique et (2) que les prises de décision de type bureaucratique peuvent apparaître comme étant une conséquence non‐anticipée de la croissance. Bureaucratization of decision‐making in a large organization emerges in opposition to norms of “individualized” treatment, as a response to the scale of operations and the potential for conflict among decision‐makers. With such bureaucratization, large organizations (in this case, juvenile courts) become more like one another in their decisions; their responsiveness to ascribed differences among clients (specifically, sex differences) decreases; and techniques of expediting the flow of clients are perfected, without noticeable benefit to the recipients of organizational services. This analysis of the emergence of bureaucratic decision‐making implies that (1) “individualized” decision‐making is unlikely to survive increases in the scale of organizational operations; and (2) “bureaucratized” decisionmaking may develop as an unanticipated consequence of growth
